Team That'll Disappoint

South Florida –  The Bulls will still be running in Tampa, however, the hints that South Florida is about to break new ground for the third consecutive year by winning a Big East title are still premature.  Although the program is clearly headed in the right direction, a schedule that includes trips to Auburn and Rutgers, visits from Louisville and West Virginia, and a nastier-than-expected finale at Heinz Field will equal a 7-5 mark.  While seven wins will be good for a third straight bowl berth, it’ll sell like a plateau season for a school that’s starting to set the bar Big East title high.

I don't understand why they would pick Pitt to go 9-3 ? ? ?

Especially if they lose so much leadership and talent.

CFN has been one of the BIGGEST USF supporters the last few years. Pete Fiutak has said in "ASK CFN" on his radio show and in other columns that USF has the best chance of being the next "superpower" in college football.

I mean 7-5 is not out of the question, especially since the bottom 4 will be a lot better. Prove them wrong.

although 7-5 is not likely...... It is more likely than the 11-1 and 12-0 predictions. I lthink we will end up 9-3..... Pitt could be good if they can get things together.....They sure do have talent.

Look at Pitt's schedule...as they have SEVEN Home Games against:

Eastern Michigan

Grambling State (Div I-AA)

Connecticut

Navy

Cincinnati

Syracuse

USF

Pitt will probably be favored in every single game...and if they go 7-0 or 6-1 in those games...that's not much of a stretch.

To reach 9 W's...Pitt would have to win at least 2 of their 5 road games:

Michigan State (new coach...again)

Virginia

Louisville

Rutgers

WVU

My guess is that CFN has Pitt winning at Mich St and UVA with maybe the Rutgers game as their next best chance at a W.

[Joe]

They have us losing to:

Auburn

WVU

UCONN

Louisville

Pitt

Beating Rutgers, that school to the east, and UNC

[crambone]

blah blah blah

We'll go 8-4.  We'll go to the PJ.com Bowl again, and win to end 9-4 again.

Write it down, so you can see how wrong I am at the end of the season.

usf needs to recruit and wion big east before becoming a super power

USF's talent level is on par with BE elite.

Everyone was predicting 5-7 or 6-6 last year, and I said 8-4, and I was dead on.  Go back and check last year's prediction threads.

I say 10-2 this year.  Mark it down.  No way this team loses 5 games unless it implodes or is hit by serious injuries.

USF will not lose to both wVU and UL.  They haven't the last 2 years with worse teams, why would they this year with both games at home and a better team.  CFN didn't do their homework, we are good for at least one if not 2 wins against top 20 teams.  Gauranteed.

One loss to either WVU/UL.

One loss to another team (Pitt/RU)

I see us pulling the shocker at AU, but even if we lose, I see 9-3 at worse.

Pull this thread out at the end of the year for all the naysayers.
